Russian authorities sent French police a puppy as a sign of solidarity and support following the Paris attacks and raid that killed Diesel, a Belgian Malinois police dog.

The Russian Interior Ministry announced the gift on its social media pages Friday morning.

“The puppy will be given in France in solidarity with the French people and the police in the fight against terrorism,” Russian Interior Ministry spokesperson Elena Alekseeva wrote in an Instagram post.

“He was named in honor of the Russian epic hero Dobrynya, which is the embodiment of strength, goodness, valor and selfless assistance,” Alekseeva wrote.

Diesel, the 7-year-old police dog, was “killed by terrorists” during the raid in Saint-Denis, north of Paris, on Wednesday. Following the news of her death, the hashtag #JeSuisChien, or “I’m a dog,” went viral on social media.
